The ongoing damage to this hillside in Delainavesi, Lami, was first raised with the Office of the Prime Minister, and the Department of Environment in September, 2023.
It was later raised with the relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Local Government, Department of Town and Country Planning, Ministry of Lands and Mineral Resources, and the iTaukei Lands Trust Board.
The sad part is that no substantive response has been received to-date.

We are bewildered as to what type of development was approved by the authorities for this site.
The least the authorities could have done was inform the Delainavesi, Lami community of this project beforehand.
With the current state of affairs, we are wondering how the authorities and owners of this development will convert and adjust this scarred and damaged hillside to something meaningful.
The authorities concern owe the Delainavesi, Lami community and the public at large some urgent and serious explanation.
